You mentioned you end up working after they go to bed, and before they get up; and then left it at that. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
I ask since I do something similar semi-regularly now, and I don't find it to be a negative thing for myself. I was always remote even before COVID (and it sounds like you are too). There are parts of my job that aren't time-flexible (meetings) and parts that are (coding). I just tend to code before kid wakes up, when kid is napping, or after her bed time. For meetings, they have to happen in the morning of the work day and that's fine. Overall, I don't really mind the whole bending of my coding hours to work with my family's schedule. I actually kind of enjoy it this way because I know that when I'm coding, I'm undisturbed.
